    I appreciate all of the green Mexican jerseys in the crowd. Do I need to go to Mexico for the World Cup?

    Adventures in goalkeeping were finally punished.
    He then tried to pretend he didn't see a second ball for a few moments.

    That was a laser.

    This sure looks like the Tunisia that was run off the field 5-0 last week against Belgium. They had the easiest African WCQ group - Namibia and Liberia tied for second - and look a distant fourth in this group.

    Then again, Sweden was saved by a peculiar lifeline - they finished last in their WCQ group but had a playoff spot guaranteed by winning their Nations League ranking.

    The beer garden where I'm watching has screens showing both Fox and Telemundo broadcasts. I'm watching a Telemundo screen and just realizing that, at least here, the Telemundo feed is about 10 seconds behind Fox.

    if you're really fast, you can place bets based on what happens on Fox with people only watching Telemundo.

    Interestingly, Sweden's goalscorer Yasin Ayari was approached about switching to Tunisia in 2021.

    Out of curiosity I thought I would check the delay for myself. I forgot fox is putting late games on FS1. I also forgot that I had read complaints about them going to commercials during the hydration break.

    Telemundo is nearly two seconds of FS1 on cable for me. Telemundo OTA is more than 10 seconds ahead of cable.

    Did that bounce or did the GK deflect it? If the latter, then Se La Perdio.

    On the latest replay, I'm pretty sure it was deflected by the keeper.

    Happy for Rod, sad Torts wasn’t the modern day Bowman. Maybe with Toronto in two or three years.

    RIP Portland Trailblazers. It's going to be a rough time since the owner won something.

    That's terrible from the Swedish attacker, who had Isak wide open and looked hom off twice, only passing when he was offside.

    Do I want Sweden to win because a Swede who would not want this team to win and is used by fox is watching ufc instead of this game?

    They really didn't understand the ref saying it was a goal after VAR.

    What were we shown?
